Parties: Linnemann: AfD makes a protest in Weidel interview

The CDU general secretary Carsten Linnemann has no understanding of the disturbance of the ARD summer interview with AfD boss Alice Weidel through loud protest against the party. “If you want to make the AfD strong, you should calmly disturb such interviews,” said Carsten Linnemann on the RTL/NTV show “Early Start”. One cannot ignore the voter and “broken screens”, but have to combat the AfD in terms of content.

The interview, which was broadcast live on the Internet on Sunday afternoon, was led in the Spree in the open sky in the Berlin government district. A demonstration on the other bank with whistles, horns and lots of anti-AfD music could be heard strongly in the transmission. Weidel complained to the interviewer Markus Preiß that his questions could not be understood.

The AfD accused Linnemann: “Weidel is only interested in consuming bad news and then opening up the champagne. She is happy when the bankruptcy figures go up and let go of the economy.” This attitude was clear from the interview. But: “Unfortunately, this was overlaid by these loud screams. That does nothing in democracy. Arguments count and nothing else.”

The group is the Center for Political Beauty behind the interference campaign during the interview. The police ended the not registered. The ARD announced that precautions for future interviews.

Linnemann said: “The ten million voters are not gone over a party ban procedure against the AfD for which the SPD is committed to preparation.” They don’t want to do better politics overnight. ” The debate about a ban on party is “not expedient” because it distracts from the content of the party.
